Some speculate that Zandie's lyrics in the song fit the case at hand as they read:

"Time to blow the whistle and even men point guns at us. "

Speaking to Briefly News, Zandie Khumalo said she is always singing about love because her central theme to music "has always been love". The singer says:

"I love, love, I believe we were created by love for love."

The singer concludes by saying:

"For now I am focused on my new single called iKhwela and I will be shooting a music video and promoting it all over the country, I do have an album almost finished but we haven't decided if we want to release it this year or next year but it's almost ready.

Briefly News contacted Legal Aid SA and representative Machini Motloung who said that it is all speculation, he theorized that if Zandie is the witness then her Instagram post would only serve to show "a willingness to give more information."

He concluded by saying:

"If Zandie is the eye-witness, the song lyrics would only be considered as inference but may be used to challenge aspects of the testimony's credibility. But, it is all speculation."

Those who had listened to the song found the lyrics eerily descriptive of what may have happened when Senzo died. To add fuel to the fire, the caption in Zandie's Instagram post promoting her new song highlighted the lyrics:

"I think the time has come to blow the whistle, what do you think? The day has finally come, let it sound [the whistle]"

Mzansi puzzled over Zandie Khumalo's new song iKhwela

Zandie's song raised the nation's eyebrows because to blow the whistle also means to expose someone's wrongdoing, and many have concluded that this references Kelly Khumalo.

Netizens were reeling from all the possible meanings.

"These are lyrics are from a song but there's definitely a reason why she quoted these lyrics, and I'm sure it has to do with Kelly's case ‍♂️ ngapha I heard these 2 sisters don't get along, kushubile madvodza"

@Patty_Ngc added

"And vele ngathi abazwani kahle hle nosisi wakhe akakhulume it's enough manje" [And it just so happens that they don't get along very well with her sister and she says it's enough now]

Another camp of peeps thinks the song is a strategic marketing move for Zandie's single.

@KaziiMtshali_ tweeted:

"It's lyrics from her new song 'iKhwela'. She's basically just promoting it and I suspect she strategically drafted her caption like that because she knew it would get people talking. It might work for her and her song. I don't think she's the witness."
